Boyzone fans may want to clear their diaries for next year as the Irish band are reportedly in talks for a massive comeback to mark their 25th anniversary.

The Irish boy band - Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham - are having secret meetings about how they can celebrate the momentous landmark with ideas such as a tour, new songs or even a West End musical all being thrown around.

“It will be 25 years since they first started out so the lads want to do something extra special. Talks have been going on for a while and there are a number of ideas in the works,” the insider added to The Sun .

Sadly for the band, their 25th anniversary will be marked without fifth member Stephen Gately, who died in 2009.

Ronan said last year that the group were eager to celebrate their quarter of a century in the music industry mark, telling Daily Mail boy: “We'll probably mark it somehow. I think a tour would be the right thing to do."

"It’s going to be about nostalgia," he added. "It's not going to be about new music really."

He also told the Press Association there had been ideas thrown around in the past about marking the anniversary with a variety of special collaborations.

‘Not just Westlife, but Girls Aloud and lots of different collaborations," he said.

"I don’t know. Maybe, maybe. Never say never to those sort of things. We’ll see. Not right now, but maybe, maybe we would. It’d be fun I think to do something like that, definitely."

Boyzone formed in 1993 after replying to a local newspaper advert placed by music manager Louis Walsh in Ireland seeking young men for an all-male pop group.

Their first album, Said and Done, was released in 1994 and featured hit songs including Love Me For A Reason, Key To My Life and Father and Son.
